I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.

I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s.

I have twin boys, 12, and a daughter, 17.

The Six Million Dollar Man was one thing, but I wanted to keep my own parts.

And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.

I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.

My fiancee and I recently eloped. We went on a fabulous honeymoon to Europe, and I was able to see and do everything I wanted without worrying about taking it easy.

I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.

Acting is a tough business, and the percentage of people who make it is very low - it's about 1 percent.

I did a few more plays, and then I went to L.A., because I knew I could get a coaching job there.

I had no idea how big the show was at the time we were doing it because I was always working.

But I was still hoping to be able to coach and teach.

I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.

I just turned 66, and I'm starting to work again.

But when you're a celebrity, you discover that you're no longer the pursuer, but the one being pursued. That's one of the disappointments I have had since becoming a single man.

All have disappointments, all have times when it isn't worthwhile.

The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.
